And we wouldn't wanna leave out Musaki and Arizona, of course. In this one; Musaki is 32 and Arizona is 33.
Chapter 3: Combined Clan
As Max and Saori were getting themselves ready for the honeymoon, Musaki and Arizona couldn't be any more happier; not only that Max and Saori are married, but that they're now a part of the Tora Okami clan as well and they do see Akashi more like a brother to them and Musaki went over to Akashi and said, "Can you believe that we're actually brothers?"
Akashi turned around and saw Musaki really happy and he said, "Yeah, I know! I've always felt like we're already brothers before, but having your tiger cousin marry my sister really seals the deal."
"That's right. You're more Bushido-Akio loyalty." Musaki stated.
Akashi chuckled at that part and he said to Musaki, "Well...I still have to be responsible for the Tora Okami clan, you know...watch over the Heavenly Tower, make sure my family's safe and on top of that...deal with my duties as master. Trust me, it is not as easy as it could be."
"So now that Max is part of the Tora Okami clan...does that mean that he'll gain some duties too?" Arizona asked.
"Some duties...but the only duties he can have is to take care of my sister, make sure she's safe and secure and to protect her at all costs. And also provide too." Akashi replied.
Musaki nodded at that and he does agree that Max can do all of that and he said, "Good point. Of course...you know that because you're one of us, you have to do every single tradition the Bushido-Akio's do. As well as learn some very good values; one of which is to stop flying to the girls' bathroom, even if it's by accident."
"That was never intentional. Blame my training." Akashi said, through clenched teeth.
Arizona scoffs at this and said, "Whatever."
Akashi scratched his neck and he turned to Arizona and asked, "How is Sierra doing?"
Arizona chuckled softly and smiled at that because they're finally gonna move onto another subject and he said, "Things are going great. Me and Sierra couldn't have been better. Her and the kids too."
"How are they, by the way?" asked Musaki.
"My three boys are doing really good. My oldest is gonna turn 15 in a few weeks." Arizona explained.
"Good for you. Another year older, another year wiser." Akashi said, cheerfully.
Arizona nodded his head at that and he said, "We're thinking about having a daughter soon...and I think me and Sierra can make that a possibility when I get home tonight."
Akashi chuckled at this and he was definitely happy to hear that and said, "Good for you. And by the way, if at any point...your daughter has a thing for boys, don't let her get anywhere near them because they'll take full advantage of her."
Musaki groans at this little 'don't let your daughter date any boy' speech and said, "Here we go again."
"What? If you had a daughter, you would've done the same thing too." Akashi argued.
Musaki knew he did have a good point, but it's not really for the right reasons and said, "But I wouldn't trap her from any boy or shelter her from them. However, I do want to know whether or not if he's good enough for my daughter to be well taken care of. As far as keeping him away from a man that she'll love, that's up to me to decide. But I'm not gonna make any rash decisions. That's what would happen if I had a daughter."
"But what about watching her every move?" asked Akashi.
Musaki gave Akashi that look like he's lost his mind and he said, "That will never happen. I would trust her. Just as long as they go wherever they say they're going. I ain't gonna follow them around like some sort of spy."
"I would to Akami." Akashi stated.
"And you know that Akami will never forgive you if you do. She'll think you're gonna embarrass her; which would definitely scar her for life." Musaki added.
"Sometimes, it's easier for her to have a little bit of freedom. You won't always be around to protect her from every bad thing that'll happen." Arizona stated.
Akashi sighed at that and he knew that both of them have a very good point and he said, "I know. I just want my daughter to be safe and secure."
"And she will be. She won't be a little girl anymore, but she'll always need her father." Musaki added.
Akashi knew he had some good points as to what he just pointed out and he said, "This is why I'm happy that you're now a Tora Okami...the same way I'm happy being a Bushido-Akio; so you can ease my mind a little bit."
"It's our job. You ease our minds with advices and we'll do the same." Arizona said, with a smile.
All three of them hugged each other deeply and Akashi said to them, "But don't think I'm not gonna spar with you two married guys, unless you still don't have any fight in you."
"You wanna test us?" asked Musaki.
Even though the Bushido-Akio's are now part of the Tora Okami clan, Musaki, Arizona and Akashi can still act like teenagers at times. Back to Max and Saori in the next chapter!
